Good morning and welcome to Fish For Tea Friday They say there are three things in life you’re most likely to regret: The chances you didn’t take. The love you didn’t show. And the time you spent worrying about things that, in the end, really didn’t matter.

I will never forgive Jindal for completely gutting and underfunding UNO all in the name of austerity, lower taxes, Grover Norquist bullshit. He destroyed an institution for his presidential campaign that was dead on arrival.

I have a list of framing devices to offer to any ambitious reporter or historian or social scientist who wants to write a book about the post-Katrina decades in New Orleans. One of them is the destruction of UNO as a community bulwark vs the rise of Tulane as a parasite. www.nola.com/news/busines...

Tomorrow, after class, I head to Metairie Park Country Day School for my talk, “Bulbancha: An Indigenous Place.” The course premise: to understand the world, you must understand New Orleans. I'll add: you can't truly understand either without first centering the Indigenous histories of Bulbancha.

My fingertip for scale

The tip of my finger points at a tiny mushroom the size of a grain of rice on a Douglas fir cone.

His mother was detained. Two months later, 21 year old Samuel Gonzalez Terrones was dead. In his final note, he addressed the ICE agent who took her: “I hope it was worth it.” 💔 A federal judge later ordered his mother released after finding her detention unlawful. #SheShed #ICEOut

On point B, the NASA Exoplanet Archive typically serves ~10-20TB of data per month. In July it jumped to 70TB. In August it jumped to 600TB. So either our user base organically grew *30x* in two months (... unlikely), OR the bots have taken over already.

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

I was a juror on a SA trial. Once we were able to discuss all the evidence, we were unanimous that a gang-rape had occurred. Problem was, the DA charged 1 guy, for rape, said it happened the next morning at a specific time. Didn't come close to making a case and we had to acquit. We were in tears.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations. Gone are the pomp and pageantry. But ICE arrests have hit record levels. ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.

Recent photo at the NHS. Over 6 years into #COVID, and we still have “wash your hands” under “AIRBORNE PRECAUTIONS.” We are failing hard to communicate one of the most basic lessons of this pandemic: Airborne means spread through the AIR. Clean air is infection control. #Airborne #PublicHealth #NHS

Photo shows a sign at NHS that says: Airborne precaution
Please wash your hands before entering the training room. Thank you
